deepak, 04 Apr 2015The S6 Edge is more fragile then the iPhone 6+. This is cer... moreExcept it isn't more fragile than iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The test performed is actually fake and is made by apple marketing to manufacture issues that don't really exist.

iPhone 6 has design flaw which is why it bent with very little pressure near volume control buttons. If you remember apple made similar video pretending there was no such issue when in fact it was. This video doesn't test ending near volume rocker.

Lets bring some science into this it's a proven fact that both S6 and S6 edge use aluminium 1630, which is much more durable than those in iPhone 6 and 6 plus. Based on this fact, the test is proven as fake.

S6 is actually ahead of it's competition, with best display, camera, processor, memory, battery and all the features including fast and wireless charging. Thus this phone is actually not in bad position, as much you want it to.

    The S6 Edge is more fragile then the iPhone 6+. This is certainly not a good thing considering the fact that iPhone 6+ isn't a strong phone either. Then when you consider the price which is 4-5 times more then a decent android phone, this phone looks in a really bad position.

      darkraver, 04 Apr 2015Hurt it is not.... Rather disgust by amount of news items ... moreFurther denial of it all shows the hurt.

      And twins? They look entirely different. The only similarities being in the similarities between the iphone and older Samsung devices. And the bottom where apple copied the frame from Samsung. And because they both have a headset jack and speaker on the bottom...Oh my. What devilish twins. And at least one of those things Samsung had before apple.

        Cry out loud, 04 Apr 2015Stronger Alluminum Alloy you said? hahahaha but why it d... moreYou don't seem to be able read or comprehend things well.
        Which part of bending already bent glass another way will make it crack is not making sense to you? The stronger alloy is just the frame in the middle of the device between two galls panels.

                    The question is why they didn't use galaxy 6 instead of the edge. does Square Trade get paid by apple to do this test

                      i think this was a so much silly test. this people why not testing BMW , Mercedes, Lexus in the press to show us, which one will be smaller. The Edge obviously broke because radius on two side (I'm using "sorry English" haha)

                          iPhone has had a problem with the volume key part of the extremely weak durability of the other part is not insignificant numbers between models.
                          If the design is wrong, because the iPhone was undue irritation to the volume part is bent by the force of even half of that test levels.

You do KNOW how thin the side bezel is due to curve side right?? apple is the one who shd be ashame since its thicker but merely the same with edge in terms of toughness. And you must not forget the one that bend and stay bent is the 6plus. Meanwhile for the edge of course its cracked, how do you expect side glass would be with that kind of forces. You're not that stupid aren't you?
